User ID: @RainbowBunny8

House: Moon-Sugar Meadow

Location Name: Skógrvegr (Forest Road) aka "The Crossroads"

Brief Description: The northern corner of Skógrvegr lies between the southern gate in the village and the western gate of the Spirit Woods. This thickly forested area is home to the town's lumber mill, the fortified South Gate, and a grain farm, which has earned it the more casual nickname of The Crossroads. However, Skógrvegr, continues farther southwest deeper into the woods and up along the foothills. Wild game, including boar, deer, rabbit and elk can be found in this narrow valley, along with the occasionally bold troll.

Points of Interest

Gate to the Spirit Wood

Use more as a thoroughfare than a leisurely stroll through the woods, the turn off for the Spirit Wood is used as footpath for villagers heading to the Borg via the sacred woods. While most cargo and merchant goods are brought in via the docks in the north, there is still a reasonable amount of cart traffic to keep the roads clear of snow and street lamps well filled.

Grain Farm and South Gate

There are enough grain farmers in Hofborg county to justify the use of the old mill in the Village. One of these farms sits within the natural valley of Skógrvegr on the path to the South Gate. Mús, the large white and brown dog guards the farm and waits for the return of his owner, the farmer's younger son who now works at the restored South Gate.

Skógrvegr has enough wild life to offset winter stores with occasional fresh game. Village hunters often look here first before traveling deeper into Western Skyrim. While, visitors uncertain of their welcome in town, make camp here for a night or two..

Buckthorn Trail

While the Crossroads are predominantly comprised of deep snow and tall pines deeper groves with dense underbrush wind into the valley southwest of the main Forest Road. Home to wardens, foresters, hunters and other recluses, the path wind past wood and thatch cottages tucked within glens and glades.

Troll Tooth Ledge

As you wind through the Forest Road towards the western edge of the valley, a narrow footpath passes beside a round tower of earlier times, continuing upward more than two miles. The foot path passes smaller Orcish homes eventually leading to an abandoned mountain strong hold.
